Kurt Russell stars as macho truck driver Jack Burton who enters into a bizarre hidden world under San Francisco’s Chinatown in John Carpenter’s cult masterpiece. When the ancient sorcerer-prince and crime lord, Lo Pan (James Hong), kidnaps the fiancée of Jack's best friend, Jack must help his friend rescue the girl before the evil Lo Pan uses her to break the ancient curse that keeps him a fleshless and immortal spirit. A mash-up of martial arts films, 1940s old action serials, Chinese mythology and straight- forward American adventure, Carpenter’s bonkers netherworld epic is one of his best, and features some of the most iconic lines in film history. (USA, 1986, 100 mins, PG-13, English & Cantonese | Dir. John Carpenter)
